4 little details for hydroponic hyacinths to easily grow them into works of art

When it comes to Mid-Autumn Festival plants, the one many of you may be most familiar with is the hyacinth. This little gardener really likes hydroponic hyacinths: hydroponics is clean and easy to care for, and paired with a transparent glass vase, it looks just like a work of art, placed by the window, and it can even bloom. But growing hydroponic hyacinths well is not simple. Come learn 4 super practical "care little details" from a fellow forum member.

1. Hydroponic hyacinths: there are details to sterilizing

The first little detail is a step you must do before hydroponics, and that is soaking in carbendazim to sterilize. This step can reduce a lot of trouble in the later care process, nipping all those germs and black rot in the bud. There are also details to sterilizing with carbendazim on schedule. Let's take a look.

This "pot" in the picture, don't think it's stewing something. The liquid in the basin is potassium permanganate solution, which can also be used to sterilize and disinfect. Of course, using carbendazim is better; do whatever is convenient for you. Here, you need to note one detail: the bulb cannot be fully soaked in the solution. Just soak the sprouting part at the bottom, for 3-10 minutes.

2. Hydroponic hyacinths: there are details to changing the water

Now let's look at the second detail. As shown in the picture above, after we prepare the small bottle and pot it up, when changing the water normally, we must pay attention to the details. The detail is: gently lift the bulb up like in the picture, and let the water slowly flow out from the gap, because at this point it has already sprouted. If you do it too forcefully, it is very easy to injure the bulb and hurt the roots. This is also a point you need to pay attention to.

3. Hydroponic hyacinths: there are details to encouraging roots

The third detail is to "put clothes on" its pot, just like in the picture above; if you didn't know, you'd think it was brewing medicine. The forum member says that for newly potted hyacinth bulbs, this method can speed up rooting: by keeping it away from light, shut in a little dark room, it can root faster. Of course, once the roots grow to about 5 cm, we have to lift the veil and let it receive light. This is also one of the details.

4. Hydroponic hyacinths: there are details to encouraging blooms

Finally, this little gardener also wants to say that before the hyacinth flowering period, if we want to see more intense flowers, we can add a little flower organic nutrient solution diluted 1000 times to the water, supplementing a little phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote flowering and extend the flowering period. Of course, you must change the water often to ensure sufficient nutrients. This is also a point you need to pay attention to.

If you like potted hyacinths, you can consider getting some this season. This little gardener previously bought hyacinth bulbs at Tasha's Garden; the bulbs were very healthy. If you want to grow them, you can also take a look at their shop. Of course, first write down these care details.
